per week of new code development

Less time fixing, more time coding

Our customers freed up four hours per week for their developers to write new code. For a team of 150 developers, that’s 600 hours per  week of new code development. That’s like adding 15 developers to your team.

95%

improvement on risk visibility

Risk visibility in hours, not weeks

At a large semiconductor company, it took more than 10 days to prepare a risk report. Since streamlining risk management with Black Duck, each report now takes less than half a day, a 95% improvement.

Our team saw a clear improvement in code quality with Black Duck. It identified critical- and high-severity issues, including ones our previous scanner missed, so we know we’re in a better place.”
